Abstract

The adult umbilical hernia is a common surgical problem, usually an acquired condition. Choosing the most suitable surgical option by tailoring for a particular patient should result in an excellent outcome. Primary suture repair of this hernia is associated with a high recurrence rate, and is therefore recommended for only small size defects. The use of surgical mesh plays a crucial role in reducing recurrences, but mesh complications still frequently occur. Currently, for high-risk for wound complications or recurrence patients or large defects, minimally invasive retrorectus repair is the preferred technique.
